As a 7-seater will have likely been bought as a family car – and will have had quite a tough life – the main thing to look out for are signs of any interior damage. Look out for any scuffed or missing trim and be sure to check that all the seats slide and fold as they should be.
If a model has any special tech fitted (such as rear media screens on the back of the seats), you should check if these work too. Also be sure to look out for any signs of parking damage where doors have been opened on to another car as this is quite common with this type of vehicle. Plus, you should also check for the usuals, such as the interior quality, tyre condition, engine and gearbox performance and if the 7-seater has a good MOT history backed by a dealer service history.
The other thing to consider is whether you actually need a 7-seater. The allure of these cars’ greater practicality is tempting, but if you’re only likely to use the third row of seats occasionally, you might be better off with a conventional 5-seat SUV or perhaps an estate.

If you're considering a 7-seater car, there’s a good chance it’s because roominess and practicality are high on the agenda. It’s true that these are some of the roomiest vehicles on the market, offering an extra row of seats that you don’t get from more ordinary cars. So whether you have enough children that require those extra seats, or you just want the flexibility of having them there, these models are well worth considering. Even if you don't need full use of those rearmost seats all the time, most cars let you fold them down into the floor when they’re not needed – meaning you’ll be left with an especially big boot.
But 7-seaters are now about a lot more than just space, as they have to excel in the styling department, while they’re often kitted out with a range of modern and high-quality touches that you get from more upmarket cars.
When it comes to buying a 7-seater, there are two routes you can go down. The first is to choose an MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), which are cars explicitly built to be as practical as possible. Great options available here include the Volkswagen Touran, Ford S-Max and Citroen Grand C4 Picasso/Space Tourer, all of which offer a stylish and well-made cabin.
The second option is the one that’s becoming increasingly popular – 7-seater SUVs. Bringing more rugged looks, these models tend to have style on their side and have quickly overtaken MPVs for sales. These range from more affordable options like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan Qashqai+2 and Kia Sorento all the way up to luxurious and pricey options like the Range Rover Sport, Bentley Bentayga and Mercedes-Benz GLS.
